Abstract

The present application provides an image output method, an image sensor and applications thereof. The image output method includes: an input circuit performs a first photoelectric conversion on incident light during an EVS mode working period and generates a corresponding photocurrent, and during an APS mode working period, performs a second photoelectric conversion on the incident light and generates corresponding light electric charge; during the first photoelectric conversion process, the EVS circuit outputs the corresponding event signal according to the rate of change of the first voltage corresponding to the photocurrent; the APS circuit outputs the corresponding event signal according to the corresponding first photoelectric conversion process during the first photoelectric conversion process. Two voltages, output corresponding gray-scale signals; the control circuit outputs corresponding EVS images according to event signals, and outputs corresponding APS images according to gray-scale signals; wherein, a single APS mode operating period is between adjacent EVS mode operating periods. The present application can not only effectively reduce the size of the image sensor, but also output multiple frames of EVS images while outputting one frame of APS image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photosensitive elements, and in particular, to an image output method, an image sensor and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] In the related art, the scheme of fusion of APS (ActivePixelSensor, active pixel sensor) and EVS (Event-based VisionSensor, event-based vision sensor) is: copy the photocurrent generated by photodiode in EVS to form APS, so as to realize EVS Integration with APS. However, this scheme is prone to introduce a large amount of noise in the photocurrent reproduction process, which seriously affects the imaging quality of APS; moreover, in the process of outputting images, it is impossible to simultaneously output APS images and EVS images from a single pixel. In addition, both APS and EVS require photoelectric conversion devices for detecting light, and photoelectric conversion devices occupy most of the space of the image sensor, thereby greatly increasing t...
